Here are tools that will extract metadata from document files.

Contents

Office Files

Extracts metadata from various Microsoft Office files (both 97-2003 and 2007-2013 formats), as well as Open Office documents. Besides, can extract plain texts (combining all texts from all XLS/XLSX/ODS pages and PPT/PPTX/ODP slides) and embedded objects. The tool can visualize pictures embedded in a document.

StickyNotes

StickyNotes Parser

Windows 7 StickyNotes follow the MS Compound Document binary format; the StickyNotes Parser extracts metadata (time stamps) from the OLE format, including the text content (not the RTF contents) of the notes themselves. Sn.exe also extracts the modified time of the Root Entry to the Compound Document; all times are displayed in UTC format

Apache Tika extracts metadata from a wide range of file formats and normalizes metadata keys to Dublin Core when possible. In recent versions of Tika, we have focused on extracting more information about "authors" (original author, comment authors, last-saved-by, editors, etc.) in general formats and more granular information for to/from/bcc info in .msg files. We've also added extraction of "original paths," when available, that might allow examiners to see the full path that the file or its attachments were stored. Finally, we've enriched extraction from XMP to allow identification of uuids and ancestor uuids. Tika can run in batch mode from input directory to output directory, and we recommend the RecursiveParserWrapper (-J -t options in the commandline app or /rmeta endpoint in tika-server) to capture metadata from embedded documents.
